1) Psi-Spells all have a powerup time. Bullets do not, They just, fly. As such, it is VERY easy to avoid the spells. Soon as you see the monk do his powerup, go behind a wall and you're 100% safe.. ALWAYS. This would not be a big deal if Psi-Spells did 10x the damage of bullets, which IMO they should (more on this later), but as it stands, even the lowest of high tech weapons does more damage
2) Damage wise we only have Energy. Fire and Toxin has been nerfed so bad, everyone laughs in Plaza when someone tries to sell Firelance or a toxic version of it.
3) To successfuly launch the Psi-Spell, we have to have the target in our sights for the entire power-up time. This is very hard to do, and gun users do not ever have to deal with this. How about making it so when you click, if you have a target selected, it WILL launch. There is still a 2 second delay which gives them PLENTY of time to dodge it. Not to mention, if it's a ball, he can see the projectile flying and still dodge it even after it launches.
4) Psi-Spells take MUCH longer to shoot then bullets, they do less damage then high end bullets (much much less). Psi-Monks have almost no implants to use, no bone enforcements and VERY little armor to play with. In each category, Tanks would have at least 3x the choice. To top it off, Psi-spells fizzle in PvP and from what I noticed, about every 8th spell launches. Be it lag, or game logic, the fact is, it's 10x harder to hit with a spell then a bullet.
As such, I believe that 1) Psi-Spells should launch no matter what as long as you had a target in your reticule at the moment you clicked the mouse button (same as bullets)
2) Psi-Spells should do at least 5x the damage they already do. After all, Psi-Monks have piss poor health, armor, so they should at LEAST do the damage (they ARE the equivalent of mages, are they not?)
Well what game do you know a Tank to do more damage then a mage?
Likewise, Fire and Toxic spells should be boostet up, beacuse right now, everyone only boosts Energy resistance because they know that's all Psi-Monks use. As such, we do barely any damage in PvP since everyone's Energy-resistance is so high.
